setting up remote printing

[John Chambers]

| I'm trying to set up my laptop and my server so that typing "lpr" on the
| laptop sends a file to the printer that's connected on the server.  I
| thought I followed all the instructions in the relevant HOWTO, but
| something is obviously missing.  The laptop is running Debian stable,
| and the server is running Debian unstable.

Dunno if Debian is the same, but on RedHat you can create a
/etc/hosts.lpd file and fill it in with the IP addresses of
machines that are allowed to use the  printer.   Maybe  you
could  use  FQDNs,  too, but I haven't tried that.  Maybe I
should test it.
